Found the answer to my problem myself in a reply by Yves Alarie in response to 'My computer doesn't recognize my camera any more' on 5/25. While detailing a solution he mentioned 'or you are on a network and the network drive is Z and XP cannot assign a drive letter to your camera so you will need to take care of this first. The steps below will not work if XP cannot assign a drive letter for your camera.' I do have a home network set up. My network drive is not 'Z' but XP did not seem to be picking up the 'G' that the device manager said my drive was.
I ended up in Computer Management in the Administrative Tools. I was able to reassign the drive to a folder in 'C' and now I can access the pictures. Is there a way to assign this drive so it shows up as a separate drive?
TIA

     I have an Olympus D-510 Zoom. In the past when plugged into USB port it showed in Explorer as a removable hard drive and I could drag+drop the pictures in it. I have new computer, running XP. When I plugged the camera in, everything was installed automatically. The device manager shows the camera as working properly. It show the cam's drive as 'generic G'. But I can not get the drive to show in Explorer or my computer. The software with the camera was updated to be compatible with windows but again the drive does not show up on the list of drives shown.
     Any help will be appreciated.
